Application ledJuly 16, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH R. PALMEN- BERG, of the city of New York, county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Hat and Goat Rack, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved hat and coat rack of simple construction,which may be attached to a small surface, and on which a large number of hats, coats, or other p articles may be'hung.

The invention consists in a hat or coat rack composed of a face-plate having forwardlyproj eetin glugs, cross-bars fastened tosaid lugs, and rods for the suspension of clothing fastened to said cross-bars, said rods being straight below and between said cross-bars, but bent outwardly in opposite directions above the same. Y

The invention also consists iu the details of construction, hereinafter more fully pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved hat and coat rack. This figure is on asmaller scale than the remaining figures. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the rack on the line x, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on the line y y, Fig. 2; and Fig. 4, a transverse section on the line z z, Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

The letterA represents the face-plate of my improved hat and coat rack adapted to be fastened against a wall or other support.

B B are two lugsl in line vertically with each other forming part of and projecting forwardly from the plate A. These lugs B B' are at their faces grooved transversely to receive two crossbars, C and D, respectively. The cross-bars O D are held in place by pins or fastenings C C which pass through the center of the crossbars and have screw-threaded ends c d which are received by the lugs B B. At their ends the cross-bars C D are perforated, as are likewise the pins C C", and through such perforations extend the rodsE E E, upon which hats or other articles are to be hung. Set-screws `d d, Ste., prevent the rods from turning or slipping. lhe rods E E are straight below and between the cross-bars C D, but above said cross-bars they are bent outwardly in opposite directions-that is to say, the two side rods are bent respectively to the right and left, and

material, is ornamental,strong, and ot' great utility.

I claim as my inventionl. As a new article of manufacture, a hat or coat rack consisting of a face-plate, A, provided with lugs B B', and of the crossbars G D, pins C C, and the rods E E, which are straight below and between the cross-bars G D, but are bent outwardly in opposite directions above the same, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2.` The combination of the face-plate A, provided with lugs B B', grooved transversely at their faces to receive cross-bars C D, with the pins G' C, and bent rods E E, substantially as specified.
